NO LEGAL WAY TO STOP HIM.

However brave the policemen are, they are careful about not breaking the laws and ordinances. A patrolman was kicking his feet down on one of the docks on the river front the other morning, when an excited citizen ran up to him and cried: “Say, hurry up! A man has just jumped off the pier!” "With hie clothes on?” asked the officer. " “Yes—fully dressed. Hurry!” “What do you want me to do? There ain’t no ordinance against a man swimmin’ as long as he’s properly dressed.”—Philadelphia Times.
